Editorial Reviews

Review

Love (and hate) for Perez:

"The queen of mean."
-Rolling Stone

"A controversial gossipmonger with a poison pen."
-Forbes

"Love him or (he prefers) hate him...[Perez] has risen from the blogosphere to reap some of the same fame and noteriety as the entertainers he celebrates and humiliates daily... [He] has become a hard-to-ignore Hollywood player."
-The New York Times

"One of the most polarizing media figures since Howard Stern."
-L.A. Weekly

"Perez Hilton revels in his role as one of the most-hated figures in Hollywood."
-BusinessWeek

"The style of a catty, celebrity-obsessed seventh-grade girl."
-Advocate

About the Author

Well before Perez Hilton (the Miami-born Mario Lavandeira) grew his website, PerezHilton.com, into a Tinseltown franchise raking in 9 million page views a day, the self-proclaimed “Queen of All Media” knew exactly how Hollywood was changing. If you used to need an actual talent—acting, singing, playing a sport—in order to make it big, now you could become famous for being famous, and doing absolutely nothing at all. And anyone can do it; in other words, you too can be a Hilton!

Jared Shapiro is the News and Entertainment Director at Life & Style Weekly, and author of Going Corporate: Moving Up Without Screwing Up. He has appeared on VH1, Entertainment Tonight, E!, and Inside Edition.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hot Garbage December 3, 2009

By The Truth

Format:Paperback

This book is a total waste of paper. Everything you would want to know is already free through TMZ, ohnotheydidnt, wwttd, egotastic, iamnotobsessed, etc. If you care about celeb gossip then you already know these things. The only things that are original in this book are his "encounters" with REAL celebrities, and he just comes off as a famewhore. As for the title, anything that has to have TRUE as the largest text on the page probably isn't. Also, Bloggywood? Is that supposed to be cute? It just sounds stupid.

Garbage. DO NOT BUY.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure Tripe! Rehashed "gossip"!!! December 16, 2009

By D. Chavez

Format:Paperback

I was able to get an advance copy of this book. Unfortunately, I read it. If you're looking for a well written, funny, insightful book on Hollywood gossip, don't buy this book. Every story that's in it has been on other websites, i.e. TMZ. There's nothing new here and Perez tries to make it sound like he "broke" these stories....not! I really disliked this book. Don't waste your money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Famous for being famous December 6, 2009

By B. C. Noble

Format:Paperback

Perez is so self promotional that it poisons his insight. I agree with the other reviewers who say that you can get all of this on blogs for free.

1.0 out of 5 stars honey, it's HO-ribble December 17, 2009

By Sugarlicious

Format:Paperback

omg. perez, please please please stop being so obvs. my sister should not have paid money to get me a book so that i could read stuff that was mostly on your site. also, i love you, but you are so into over promotion you make me want to stop reading you. forever. give it a rest already. REALLY.
the book is mildly entertaining, but for goodness sake, go to the library and get it out if you want to read it, because, like a trashy magazine, you'll pretty much just want to toss it once you are done. if you want something more substantial, spend time going through the backlog of info on P-Hilty's website. I was soooo disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars This guy is a bad pop culture joke.Why would anyone care what this creature thinks. December 3, 2009

By J. CODAY

Format:Paperback

The topics he writes about aren't even his original ideas, he just plagiarizes other gossip columns. Do you you really think this classless clown has any real inside info??

I bought this book and turned around and resold it without even reading it. You can tell by thumbing through the pages that this book is just rehash on what is on his daily blog.....What a waste of time and money. I have to stop buying this kind of crap :)

2.0 out of 5 stars Tell me something I don't already know February 8, 2010

By Amber Jones

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book was an easy read, however, there was really nothing in it that wasnt already in the tabloids, or on tv. It was kind of boring.
